Same but I'm from Australia. Ich_iel is pretty much German Duolingo to me at this point.

Another one making the mistake of learning German by ich_iel-memes.

Be aware that part of ich_iel humour in no small part consits of comically literal translations of English expressions. That has nothing to do with proper German and as a learner you probably won't be able to spot the difference.

Bad idea to try to learn German there.
